The 6-5 rising sophomore is long, athletic and extremely versatile around the rim. Brazell can create his own shot off the bounce as well as off the catch. On the defensive end, Brazell can defend multiple positions and rebound at a high level. He has a smooth mid-range jumper that he can knock down at a consistent rate as well. Really excited for his upside as he goes into his sophomore season.
The 6-4 rising sophomore is one of the top multi-versatile players you will find in the Southwest Florida area. He can finish in a variety of ways whether it’s at the rim through traffic or off the catch from beyond the arc. Lambert is also very athletic on the defensive end of the floor where he can get timely blocks and can go rebound with the best of them. College coaches will start to take notice on Lambert sooner rather than later as he is poised to have a big sophomore season.
The 6-5 rising sophomore combo guard is tough, scrappy and can score on all three levels. Parham is a solid ball-handler who can create and initiate the offense while making the right plays. He is also a sensational on-the-ball defender where he can also get on the glass and rebound with the best of them. Parham has received offers from Jacksonville, Houston and Radford University this summer and I can expect that list to continue to grow as he gears up for the upcoming season.
The 6-4 rising sophomore combo guard finds different ways to get involved whether he is scoring, facilitating the offense or his defense. Cummings has a smooth feel for the game where he has a smooth floater as well as a nice mid-range game. Cummings can also get to the front of the rim and finish with the best of them and is unafraid to avoid the contact.
Highlights
The 6-7 rising sophomore power forward is coming off a stellar freshman season where he helped lead Holy Trinity Episcopal to the Class 3A Semifinals. Gaskins is a solid rebounder and defender where he can get out guarding the perimeter as well as in the paint. He also has worked on improving his mid-range jumper where he is poised to have a breakout sophomore season at Montverde Academy. Gaskins is also unafraid to defend the opponent’s best player on any given night.
